Fractions

A Tasty Dilema...

Yesterday I wanted to make my favourite cake, here is the recipe




But sadly I was unable to make the cake as I only could find the following measuring cups

1/8 = 30ml 1/3 = 80ml 1 3/4 420ml


How could I have still made the cake with these measuring cups? Is there more than one way?




Below are some examples of our thinking...











Here are some more questions for your groups on Thursday...

Q - If I could only use one measuring tool, what would be the most effective?

Q - How would these measurements change if I doubled the recipe?
